Panning the canvas by middle- or right-click-dragging with a tablet causes the application to misbehave on Windows - #1813

-
The command line export operation consumes more memory than using the editor - #1117

- Implemented selection horizontal & vertical mirroring (“Flipping”)
- Export movies in a given range.
Fixes:

Known Issues:
- Vector Engine is being reworked, the functionalities are limited and it’s not yet ready for production use.
- You will be able to undo a “delete frame”, but cannot redo it.
- Smudge tool (Bitmap) fills the background with white color, which should be fully transparent. Plus you cannot undo it’s behavior properly, yet.
- Polyline Tool: Bezier mode is experimental and does not create proper splines in Bitmap Layers. In vector layers, it’s working by default and cannot be disabled.
- Preview mode is currently disabled since it’s pending implementation.
- Multi-Layer Onion Skin option is not working, pending implementation.
- The original Pencil PDF manual has been removed. We will work to create a new online user manual accessible for everyone.
- Customize keyboard shortcuts (Preferences->Shoftcuts)
- Interactive brush resizing. SHIFT + Mouse Drag to change brush size, CTRL + Mouse Drag for FEATHER, CTRL+SHIFT applies brush size to the eraser and temporarily selects it.
- Smoother brush stroke on Mac OS X.
- Saving/loading project is stable now.
- Code refactoring.
- Misc bug fixes.

Changes by Konstantin Dmitriev:
- Support for some command-line options. Now it's possible to specify file to open: $ Pencil file.pcl Export to image sequence using command-line: $ Pencil file.pcl --export-sequence file.png
- Load dialog: Allow to choose "Any file" filter - that allows to load files without extension (old Pencil files).
- Fix transparency issue when exporting to png sequence
- Desktop integration (linux)
- Other minor fixes
Changes by davidefa:
- Export movie exports audio and video. Audio layers are mixed. To select video format use an 'appropriate' filename extension ( ex: .avi, .mov, .mpg, .mp4 ... ), movie framerate is selectable ( but output codecs don't support all framerates, a safe and usual choice should be 24, 25 or 30 fps )
- Minor fixes in audio layers ( corrupted audio passed end of 'audio frame' ).
- Improved undo/redo functionality
- Fixed saving animation ( removed 'optimization', now saving is slower but safer )
- Added fps parameter in saved animations
- 3 'layers' of onion skinning ( configurable trough edit->preferences->tools, to remove a layer set its opacity to 0 )
- Added import movie ( frames are imported at the current fps, there is no check to limit the imported frames )
- Compiles fine with min 0.4.x on linux
- Other minor fixes ( moving selection on bitmap layers, moving layers... )
Added export AVI/OGG Added some more icons
Added Duplicate Frame functionality Added Tools menu and fixed shortcut key bugs
Making it look like a Flash clone (Tools, Shortcuts, Panel names)

Source code has been unified for Mac, Windows and Linux. Now available on sourceforge SVN repository. Lots of improvements, and lots of things to do still (see TODO) See notes for Mac and Windows.
Pascal
http://www.les-stooges.org/pascal/pencil/
Added many things, notably vector graphics. PLEASE NOTE: There is still a bug which prevents the Windows release version to work well with optimization flags. So for the moment, one should compile in debug mode or change the optimization flags in the release makefile.

PLEASE NOTE: This source code is optimized for compiling on Mac OSX. This means that the movie export functions refer to a local application called assembler2 (also included source). The Windows version replaces the movie export function to use a different application, quite easy really, so it's not included.
The source code is very, hum, quick and dirty. I'm not a programmer at all and it's quite a miracle I was able to piece the software together. If you actually improve something, I'd like you to let me know.
To compile on Linux, remove the Mac OSX headers (you'll find them), and re-implement the movie export with mencoder or ffmpeg.
All the best, Patrick
